Embedded Macro Processors

P. J. Brown *

Computing Laboratory, The University, Canterbury, UK

Macro processors are often found embedded in systems and applications software: assemblers, compilers, text formatters, circuit design packages etc. These embedded macro processors are all different from one another, mainly because each has unique requirements for communicating with its host software. This paper presents a generalized off-the-shelf component, able to serve as the embedded macro processor in almost any desired host software. The key to the generality is that macros are defined using an existing high-level language such as Pascal, thus giving the writer of macros all the power of that language.

Received July 1983.
